Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Anti-tumor effects of galectin-9 was detected in hepatocellular carcinoma cell induced the strong apoptosis through microRNA in vitro and in vivo(Int J Oncol. 2015 Jun;46(6):2419-30) In addition, the antitumor effect of galectin-9 was also detected in cholangiocarcinoma (Oncol Rep. 2015 Oct; 34 (4): 1761-70), gastric cancer (Oncol Rep. 2016 Feb; 35 (2): 851-60), gallbladder cancer(Int J Oncol. 2016 Mar; 48 (3): 1165-74).
